MAJOR personal announcement

[burythehatchet]

On Friday Nov 19 I decided that I was moving to Washingotn DC. I am a New Yorker who has worked in European and Asian capitals, but have been living in Atlanta for 18 years. I have never gotten accustomed to the southern way of life and have hungered for liberal, intelligent surroundings for years.

Washington DC is the most "comfortable" city I have ever experienced, and I've lived in the "original" DC, Paris.

I am so happy to be planning my move. This is going to allow me to get much more involved in political activity as well. Wish me luck:)

7. Georgia 60 years ago or about

Democratic, solid, conservative ....wouldn't have though of voting for a Republican, since Hoover, how the state has changed, think Goldwater wrighting for the Atlanta Journal or Constution, changed the state,

[Tweed]

29. And half if not more of those Democrats

were traditional racists who were against Catholics and women too. I'm glad those types have switched to the Republican party.

10. Kennedy quote for ya:

Washington is a city where Northern charm meets Southern efficiency.

So true then and now.

[burythehatchet]

12. not sure I follow

:)

[DaveinMD]

14. it means it can be slow at times

yet still have some attitude from the citizens.

[WMliberal]

30. it's the reverse of the good thigns from both regions

the north for its efficiency, not it's charm. The South for it's charm, not it's efficiency.
